We have been receiving a lot of support inquiries with regards to a missing DYMOPrinting.dll file. If you have this problem, the simplest solution is to copy the DYMOPrinting.dll file from your installation folder to the folder where your application is executing.
Hey There,
where should one put the .dll ?
I’m using the SDK with the javascript library … so there is not exactly a “executing” folder.
Any answer would be much appreciated
Hi Nico,
See if this helps:

Our new DLS release should fix this.
Please download the new DLS release here:

Hey Jeff,
just seen the new Release. I will give it a try and reply afterwards. Thanks in advance !
Now it’s working like a charm again ! :)
How to print .png file in Right roll
//
DYMO.Label.Framework.Com.Framework zObjStamp = new DYMO.Label.Framework.Com.Framework();
// Load Base64 string
zObjStamp.LoadImageAsPngBase64(xszImagePath);
// How to load to ILabel above Image Stream?
//For Laoding .label file below code is useful
zObjILabel = DYMO.Label.Framework.Label.Open(xszImagePath);
//My requirement is endicia will give base64 png data i.e stamp i am using Dymo labelwritter 450 twin turbo in right roll i need to print stamps in DLS we are loading only .label files
zObjIPrinter = Framework.GetPrinters()[Properties.Settings.Default.SettingStampPrinterName];
if (zObjIPrinter is ILabelWriterPrinter)
{
zObjILabelWriterPrinter = zObjIPrinter as ILabelWriterPrinter;
if (zObjILabelWriterPrinter.IsTwinTurbo)
{
zObjILabelWriterPrintParams = new LabelWriterPrintParams();
zszPrintTray = Properties.Settings.Default.SettingsPrinterTray;
zObjILabelWriterPrintParams.RollSelection = RollSelection.Right;
}
zObjILabel.Print(zObjIPrinter, zObjILabelWriterPrintParams);
}
I also had this issue within a WPF application, while the SDK samples were working fine. The issue got resolved by unchecking the “Prefer 32-bit” option on the project properties page.
Thanks for posting your solution!
I am using visual studio to create a vb.net winforms application that accepts input and writes values to a label printer over a network.
I am using windows 7 and visual studio 2017
My visual studio references are:
Dymo.Label.Framework
have these, but they may not be needed
dymo.common
dymo.dls.runtime
dymo.dls.runtime.ts
dymo.dls.sdk
I was receiving a DymoPrinting.dll error. I tried to import it through add reference in visual studio; but received an error
(A reference to C:\Program Files (x86)\Dymo\Dymo Label Software\DymoPrinting.dll could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that is a valid assembly or COM component.
I manually copied the dll file
from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\DYMO\DYMO Label Software
to my visual studio bin\debug folder
L:\.yourFolder\yourApp\yourAppName\bin\Debug
It’s a network printer, but I it installed as a printer on on my computer. I’m reading a copy of the label from my c drive.
Here is my code:
Dim sBarcode As String
sBarcode = "Tank ID: " + CStr(cmbTankerNum.Text) + Chr(10) + "Top: " + CStr(OutgoingTopSealNum.Text) + Chr(10) + "Rear: " + CStr(OutgoingRearSealNum.Text) + Chr(10) + "Misc: " + CStr(OutgoingMiscSealNum.Text)
'Open the label template
Label = DYMO.Label.Framework.Framework.Open("C:\Temp\MyLabel.label")
'my test label
'Label = DYMO.Label.Framework.Framework.Open("C:\Users\myName\Desktop\MyLabel.label")
With Label
.SetObjectText("Location", "XXXXX, XX")
.SetObjectText("PlantCode", "Plant: #XX-XXXX")
.SetObjectText("Tank_ID", "Tank ID: " + cmbTankerNum.Text)
If radtankerWashN.Checked = True Then
.SetObjectText("Sanitizer", "Sanitizer: ")
Else
.SetObjectText("Sanitizer", "Sanitizer: Dictate")
End If
.SetObjectText("Initials", "Initials: " + analystInitials.Text)
.SetObjectText("OutTopSeal", OutgoingTopSealNum.Text)
.SetObjectText("OutRearSeal", OutgoingRearSealNum.Text)
.SetObjectText("OutMiscSeal", OutgoingMiscSealNum.Text)
.SetObjectText("BARCODE", sBarcode)
End With
'Print the label
Dim printerName As String
Dim printer As DYMO.Label.Framework.ILabelWriterPrinter
Dim printers As DYMO.Label.Framework.IPrinters
'shared printer name on our network
printerName = "\\myComputerName\DYMO LabelWriter 4XL"
printers = DYMO.Label.Framework.Framework.GetPrinters()
If TypeOf printers(printerName) Is DYMO.Label.Framework.ILabelWriterPrinter Then
printer = printers(printerName)
Label.Print(printer)
End If
Hi John,
I find it is always best to start with one of our samples… You can find the samples here:
http://developers.dymo.com/2016/11/29/sample-samples-samples/
There are C# and VB samples available in the zip file.
Hope this gets you going in the right direction!

Hi there we have interesting error, i can be so thankfull if we can solution about that. That’s the error we get:

Hi Sam,
Can you give me some insight as to how this error came about? Maybe some code?

Hi there,
I recently added dymo functionality to my application in Visual Studio (.Net).
I added the package through NuGet (version 8.5.1.4 – the latest available), and bought a LabelWriter 450 and downloaded and installed the latest software version 8.7.0.44412, and made a template xml.
When I attempt to use Label.OpenXml() (passing in a string representation of the xml document from the label file that was saved), it throws an error regarding an unexpexted node (“IsOutlined”). If I remove that node, I get the same error for another node (“BarcodeObject”).
I read somewhere on this forum that it’s to do with a difference in the versions – the older version I have running in Visual Studio doesn’t know what to do with newer nodes available in the later label software. That’s the assumption I’m running on for the moment.
I tried removing the 8.5.1.4 version with NuGet, and adding the references to the newer DLLs in the Label Software > Framework folder, manually, however Visual Studio keeps saying I’m missing an assembly reference when I try to build. I’ve tried ‘Cleaning’ the solution, rebuilding, over and over again. The ‘using DYMO;’ line seems to be ignored or incorrect for the later version.
Is there a step by step guide to adding the DLLs, and indeed, which DLLs are needed?
The Dymo solution is exactly what I’m after, if I can get it to work – so frustrating at the moment tho.
Many thanks,
Yves
Hello Yves,
I can understand your frustration! The NuGet package that is available online is not ours. I am not sure who created it. Not to worry, we do have an SDK and you can get it here:
http://www.dymo.com/en-US/online-support-sdk
The install will include many samples that should help you get going.
Regards,
Ron
Thanks for that.
I figured it out (calling it a night and returning with fresh eyes often helps). Somewhere along the way I set my Target Framework to 4.5, meanwhile the latest DLS DLL is 4.5.1.
The printer is spitting out labels now.
Cheers.

Hi, is this DYMOprinting.dll the file that replaced the labels.dll file? My software is looking for this file to be able to use the labelwriter software to create a template to use for our barcode printing but this file no longer exists in the install location (our software help files are maybe 10 years old).
Hi Luc,
10 years is a long time! What version of DLS are you using. I suspect you will need to make some changes to your application for it to work with the latest version.
